🔥Bump Up Your LinkedIn Social Selling Index

You can find your SSI in the LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It measures your social selling skills and execution by looking at 4 primary components:

1️⃣Establishing your professional brand: Complete your profile. Fill out every single thing on the page. Summary, experience, education, groups, recommendations, skills—everything.

2️⃣Finding the right people: LinkedIn wants to see you using Lead Builder to find people. They also want to see you saving leads—saving leads lets them send you insights so that you can take action.

3️⃣Engaging with insights: LinkedIn wants to see you engaging on the platform and following their recommendations. Sometimes, the platform will prompt you to update part of your profile or to publish a post. Follow these suggestions, and LinkedIn will be happy with your effort.

4️⃣Building relationships: The right way is to be thoughtful about who you connect with and to send personal messages in your connection request. LinkedIn wants to see a high acceptance rate for your connection requests, meaning most people are connecting instead of rejecting.

Each of these components is worth 25 points, so your SSI score can be as high as 100.


❗️LinkedIn is factoring this score into how well the algorithm works in your favor.

Improve your score, and LinkedIn will show your content to more people.👍

📆The gig economy is on the rise

⬆️Digitalization, the advance of artificial intelligence, and the impacts of the 2020s’ crises have left lasting effects on the world of work. The trend is distinctly shifting towards the Gig Economy and freelancing.

⬆️Forbes reports a 59% increase in full-time working freelancers in the US last year. However, the demand seems unmet, with a whopping 79% of US companies planning to increasingly rely on freelance experts in the future.


⬆️The upward trend is driven not merely by companies seeking shorter-term and more flexible work arrangements but by the rising expectations of highly skilled professionals. Their frequent demands include more autonomy, a balanced work-life, and meaningful projects.

🔵The key skills for aspiring Data Scientists include Data Analysis (14.2%), Data Science (11.2%), and Machine Learning (10.3%). Proficiency in programming languages like Python, SQL, and Java is essential.
